@Andy40: I don't see how I could run this wire to the cavity of the SG if I don't remove the bushing?
The hole running from cavity to bridge post is now obstructed by the bushing.

I agree Fred, the bushes don't have holes in the bottom from memory. Try pushing a wire from the control cavity to the bush hole Fred, I think it will be too hard with the bush in place
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Do you mean I could try leaving the bushing and just push a wire to make contact with the bushing from the cavity?
I thought about that but was concerned that it wouldn't give enough contact to ensure efficient shielding...

Just found out my 12 string doesnt even have a hole for me to send the earth wire in or out, haha, guess i am going to have to drill for one, fantastic not....
@tonyw: that's weird, my 12 string had one (and I didn't forget the ground wire on that one!...). That's the one you got from DIYguitars like mine, isn't it?

Yep same mate i am going to drill through the bridge pickup route and go in that way.
I can get through the bushing, they have no bottom but that wasnt the plan haha, i thought i would just feed off the treble side didnt even look duh
Thanks for that... that's one of the methods I saw online.
I'll see if I can pull it off gently tonight, otherwise I'll get supplies from the green shed tomorrow to build a 'bushing extractor'. SHould be easy enough.
With the 12 strings, you may be able to drill through the bushing hole at an angle towards the cavity. It shouldn't be much more than a few cms. Mine was like that, started near the top of the bushing hole. I ran a long speaker cable that I then fished out through the f hole.

Was that on the treble side bushing? and i cant see anywhere for the ground to come out, maybe its tucked up real tight in the F Hole block? that will teach me for being a smart butt and not checking just assuming because i had done it before.
I think i will make myself a jig like that one, may never use it again but someday someones going to ask me to take out a bushing
I would use a bit more than paper towel under it though
